Pdoc suggested that I try therapy. Why? What does it achieve? Any advice?

My T keep tracks my mood, psychosis, how much I take my PRN, sleep and things like that. She gives me advice on how to deal with my symptoms better. She's seen me psychotic, non responsive, manic, suicidal, and petrified because I couldn't understand English. Each time taking everything in complete stride like its completely normal. She helps me deal with the after effects of an episode and how to fix things. She calms me when I'm freaked out about my symptoms and tells my husband when to back off. Warns me when my husband is going into an episode.

She's the head of my team so she deals with all my doctors and works with the rest of my families teams to make a family treatment plan. She has me write her notes daily of everything going on in my head that day so she knows the things I won't say out loud. She double shreds it when she's done with it. Her vague notes go to my psychiatrist with med suggestions.

She and here worked 2 years on getting me to have a PRN. She helps me stay on my medication but points out the side effects and ways to deal with them. She helps me deal with my husbands and sons disorders. She helps me decide when I need a break and keeps me out of the hospital.
